# Plan Runs

## Overview

Use Run Planning tool in BaseSpace Sequence Hub to create and configure your run settings.

If your instrument is configured for Cloud mode or Hybrid mode, submit the run configuration to your BaseSpace Sequence Hub account. The run becomes available in the planned runs control software of the instrument.

If your instrument is configured for Local mode, use Run Planning tool to create your sample sheet in v2 file format. Alternatively, create a sample sheet without BaseSpace Sequence Hub using a provided template.

If your instrument is not configured for Cloud mode integration, you can export the sample sheet in v2 file format. Placing the sample sheet in the instrument run folder and sequencing with Run Monitoring and Storage enabled will allow the specified analysis to launch automatically when the upload to BaseSpace Sequence Hub completes.

Planning a run in BaseSpace Sequence Hub is available for the following sequencing systems:

* NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Sequencing Systems - see [Plan a NextSeq 1000/2000 Run](/basespace/sequence/plan-runs/set-up-planned-run.md)
* NovaSeq X Series Sequencing Systems - see [Plan a NovaSeq X Series Run](/basespace/sequence/plan-runs/multi-analysis-planned-run.md)
* MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing Systems - see [Plan a MiSeq i100 Series Run](/basespace/sequence/plan-runs/miseqi100-planned-run.md)

If you'd rather plan runs programmatically, see [Plan a Run via the API](/basespace/sequence/plan-runs/run-planning-api.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/basespace/sequence/plan-runs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
